Everyone who has mystical experiences is transformed by them.

Yet such experiences may be hard to talk about, understand, or work with. With its emphasis on the tangible, our culture doesn’t support and may be dismissive of the mystical. Your friends may act uncomfortable or roll their eyes when you mention the yearning that’s awakened in you.

So I am thrilled that my colleague Michael Stone, host of the Shift Network Shamanism Global Summit, is offering a free talk on February 25, as well as a class on becoming a cultural mystic, called The Way of the Mystic. If this speaks to you, it’s a rare opportunity to explore your own mysticism. More below!

What’s A Mystic?

My own mystical experiences have awakened a yearning for union and oneness. When I’ve traveled to the stars, felt the ancestors walk by my side, and experienced amazing initiations and spiritual awakenings, my heart has been opened more and more to a felt sense of connection with all living beings. I’ve learned to access fields of love and what the ancients call Indra’s Net, the net of jeweled nodes that connects us, mosquitos, mountains, and galaxies.

More formal definitions say a mystic is a person who has spiritual intuition of wisdom that transcends ordinary understanding… who has direct spiritual experiences of union…who uses contemplation or non-ordinary reality experiences  to gain a spiritual understanding or wisdom…and who has an ability to transcend established belief and dissolve identification with the 'ego' self.

Following my intuition and the guidance of my spirit helpers has always opened the way for me. Those of you who listened to my talk during the IAM Symposium may remember the three questions I ask about my mystical experiences. As you explore your own mysticism, you may find them useful:
